My Point exactly....

Well, reading this topic has been very, and i use the term vaguely, interesting. I cant say the exact date i started playing runescape (who honestly remembers when they sign up for a game they are still playing years later) but i do know some facts. I remember signing up in school, dates are from 1995-2000 then 2000 to 2002. Secondary for 5 years then sixth form for 2 (higher education for those who dont know :D ) Now i was pretty sure it was before sixth form, but if the game wasn't released till 2001, it must have been sixth form. I remember the black website with the "beta" title when signing in. So around 6 years. Now i know there were more than 10 players when i started playing so im not saying that im part of the "elite" few who have shown they must be recognised. The term "its just a game" springs to mind. :boohoo: However i do have a few points to mention. 1. Even Jagex customer support verified that they cannot be specific with dates on earlier releases prior to 2001. So saying someone did or didn't play before this date is not for anyone to decide. If you have hard evidence, then fine, argue till your hearts content, but how many people even thought of taking a screenshot with timestamp back then?? 2. To all people quoting WikiPedia. It is a human edited knowledgebase. Key term: "human edited". Regardless of this post or even to do with runescape, there have been countless reports of information being changed by anyone and everyone who knows how, thus making it inaccurate. So saying "get your facts right, wiki says..." is no more fact than saying "I met Adolf Hitler in 663bc, see it even says it on wiki". So what if Andrew wrote the original info on wikipedia, it could have been edited hundreds if not thousands of times to something far from the truth. 3. With reference to other websites other than WikiPedia. These are only as accurate as the people that made them. If the person was wrong... Get my drift?? So in conclusion, I have been playing...... a long time. There are others who have been playing longer, others who haven't. What does it matter, everyone helped Runescape become what it is today.
